Received call from 202-730-1482 Nov 20, 2014. Heavy foreign accent female caller. Told me that since I was a good citizen with no bills and no bankruptcy. She said I could use this money for education or any purpose I desired. Caller fast talking and not acknowledge any of my questions. Told me that $7,000 US dollars to be given to me for any purpose I desired. Gave me claim #GK461 to give to her manager for verification of my eligibility to receive this money which would not be taxable by the US Government. She provided me the name "JOHN SNOW" with a telephone # 202-738-1482. I was asked to hold the line and her manager would be with me shortly to assist me in completing the required steps to have this $7,000 deposited directly into my "debit card or bank account" in the next 15-20 minutes. When "MR SNOW" answered my call when transferred, he asked for my verification # and congratulated me. He immediately requested my debit card information. BY THIS TIME I HAD FULLY DETERMINED THIS CALL WAS NOT VALID. I CHOOSE TO PLAY ALONG. I PROVIDED MR SNOW WITH THE DEBIT CARD INFORMATION ON A PRE-PAID DEBET CARD WHICH I NEVER USED. Mr Snow told me that I would receive $7210 dollars in the next 15 minutes if I would go to "Walgreen, Rite-Aid or Kroger and purchase a GREEN DOT money gram for $210 dollars ( which would be refunded along with the original $2000. Told me the $210 was a means to verify that I am the intended person they had chosen to receive this money. I told Mr Snow that there were not any of the businesses which he told me to go to in this area. He told me GREEN DOT Money Grams were widely available. I just made up the name of another business and asked if they had GREEN DOT Money Grams. Mr Snow said that they also carried GREEN DOT. I "anxiously" told him that I would go immediately go to this business and purchase the Green Dot Moneygram and call him back with the information to proceed with this "FREE MONEY GIVE AWAY BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES." Immediately he responded, telling me that I needed to stay on the line with him as I purchased the Green Dot so that I would be able to provide him with the information which would enable him to authorized the immediate transfer of $7210.00 into my Debit Card account. At this point I told him that I did not have $210 to immediately invest in the Green Dot. He urged me to attempt to purchase the $210 monogram and that if I was not going to be able to invest this "REFUNDABLE $210 within 30 minutes that I would lose my eligibility to receive this free money. I told him there was no way I could afford to continue on with this process, and the call was ended.
I did attempt calling both numbers that night to see how the call was answered: Both lines were answered with a message telling me "THE PERSON AT THIS NUMBER WAS NOT AVAILABLE TO RECIEVE CALLS AT THIS TIME" The female voice reciting this message also had a strong accented voice.
Today, Fri Nov 21, 2014, I called the number back and Mr Snow merely answered the phone saying "HELLO" and no additional identification for where/whom I was speaking with. I asked, 3 times, what business I was calling. On the fourth request I was told that this was the US Government Health and Human Services.
Later today I will go to an ATM to excitingly withdraw the $7210 promised-----wish me luck!!
